Due to increasing grid instability, architects, builders, and homeowners recognize the importance of whole-home standby power. But the size and cost of a generator depend on the home’s electrical load. By choosing propane appliances, such as water heaters and furnaces, over electric models, homeowners can reduce their electricity load, enable a smaller, more affordable generator, and save thousands in long-term costs. Propane generators can be used for both primary and backup power and can also be paired with dual-fuel systems, including those that utilize renewable energy sources such as solar.

During this webinar, learn more about designing and building homes that are supported by a whole-home generator and see how increasing propane use throughout a home can reduce the size of a generator. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the impact of grid instability and extended outages on residential energy planning.
2. Explain how whole-home generators function and support residential resilience.
3. Identify the benefits of propane appliances in reducing electrical demand and enabling the use of smaller generators.
4. Describe options for integrating generators with renewable energy, such as solar, for prime or backup power.
